Padfoot, interesting suggestions. Why representation in the House but not the Senate, under your scheme?

Article I says the House shall be composed of representatives selected from the several states as well, so I don't really see how we could add representation in the House without treating the territories as states as well.

As far as the Article V prohibition on amending the part about representation in the Senate, you could first amend that part and then you're good to go, no? I mean, not that any of this is going to happen in the first place, but there's no functional way to make all of a document amendable except one part, if you can still amend the part that declares that part unamendable.
